GRE Fee Waiver

SUNO participates in the GRE Fee Reduction Program for the 2015-2016 testing year. The program allows institutions to make GRE Fee Reduction Certificates available to eligible college seniors and unenrolled college graduates who meet the GRE Board guidelines. A student may receive one GRE Fee Reduction Certificate. The certificate may be applied toward the test fees for one GRE General Test, and/or one Subject Test. Individuals who receive a GRE Fee Reduction Certificate will be required to pay 50 percent of the 2015-2016 GRE test fee and other applied fees. Only one Fee Reduction Certificate may be issued to a student by SUNO (not one per test).Starting in July 2015, individuals who are approved for a GRE Fee Reduction may retake a GRE test for 50 percent of the full test fee within one calendar year of the receipt of their original Fee Reduction Certificate and ISIR materials without resubmitting a new Fee Reduction Certificate or ISIR form. These individuals can complete the Declaration of Eligibility form available at www.ets.org/gre/bulletinandforms, and send it with the appropriate payment and registration form(s) to GRE-ETS, Financial Need Fee Reduction Program, P.O.
